Assembly Notes.

We were not half we'll most of last week,
and wishing to attend the Kyle meeting
had to omit sundry local notes which we
had in view, among others some relating
to our Assembly. Beginning in small way
we are glad to learn the present session has
steadily grawn in interest and the favor OF
the public, as shown in an increased attend
ance. The management have displayed
considerable fertility in devising new at
fractions We happened to be present at
the first campfire meeting, which proved
an occasion of novel interest.
The sermon Sunday before last was by
Rev. Mr.. Luther, president of the Baylor
Female College at Bolton, and was q very
good one, In the course of his remarks he
traced the genesis of our public school sys-
tenn to Martin Luther and the other protest.
ant reformers, who devised it pretty much
as we now have it for the benefit of the
mass of the people who had previously
been kept in ignorance and held incapable
and unworthy of education. We hope this
statement relieved the minds of some of our
people who have been strangely led to be-
live that our public schools were tho off,
spring of lnfdelity and irreligion.
During the past week the sessions of
the Assembly continued to grow in Interest.
The great attraction was on Saturday and
Sunday in the discourses of DIR. Winfield OF
Little Rock. He is favorable sample OF
''thc preacher of the olden timetable,
witty and eloquent, He uttered one senti-
ment on Sunday night which must have
touched a sympathetic chord in many
heart, viz that through the influence and
voice of women, prohibition is yet sure ia
prevail. This we steadfastly believe.

Morris and Nj Reasoner we're the first to
stop the Cresset, as entered on the tally
sheet of discontinuances by that paper
Our honest bluff blacksmith friend Mr.
Morris no doubt gave the true reason of al
for stopping IL was not because the pa
per was anti -prohibition-that 1t was to b
such was a foregone conclusion from th'
beginning;-but it was because they dis
liked the editor and did not think the papei
worth paying for.
